Hey there :)

We know the formula for simple interest is
I = prt
{ The picture includes what each stands for }

Lehena:
Initial amount = $100
Interest rate = 2.5% = $\frac{2.5}{100} = 0.025$
Time = 3 years
I = ( 100 )( 0.025 )( 3 )
= 7.5$

Total = $100 + $7.5 = $107.5

Marty:
Initial amount = $100
Interest rate = 2% = $\frac{2}{100} = 0.02$
Time = 3 years
I = ( 100 )( 0.02 )( 3 )
= $6

Total = $100 + $6 = $106

How much more than Marty did Lehena receive?
= Total Amount of Lehena - Total Amount of Marty
= 107.5 - 106
= $1.5

Your answer will be option B) $1.50

The ratio of pink roses bushes to white rose bushes in the city Garden is about 12 to 15. If there were 92 pink rose bushes, abo

Answer:

$115\ white\ rose\ bushes$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of pink roses bushes

y----> the number of white rose bushes

we know that

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{12}{15}$

$y=\frac{15}{12}x$ -----> equation A

$x=92$

substitute the value of x in the equation A

$y=\frac{15}{12}(92)=115\ white\ rose\ bushes$

What is the y-value in the solution to this system of linear equations?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{4 x + 5 y = -12 | (equation 1)

3 y - 2 x = -16 | (equation 2)

Add 1/2 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{4 x + 5 y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x+(11 y)/2 = -22 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 2/11:

{4 x + 5 y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 5 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{4 x+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 4:

{x+0 y = 2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 2 , y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that in a linear function of the form $f(x)=mx+b$ , $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the why intercept.

Part A. Since $g(x)=2x+6$ , its slope is 2 and its y-intercept is 6

Now, to find the slope of $f(x)$ we are using the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

where

$m$ is the slope

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

$(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of the second point

From the table the first point is (-1, -12) and the second point is (0, -6)

Replacing values:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-6--(12)}{0-(-1)}$

$m=\frac{-6+12}{0+1}$

$m=6$

The slope of f(x) is bigger than the slope of g(x), which means the line represented by f(x) is stepper than the line represented by g(x).

Part B. To find the y-intercept of f(x) we are taking advantage of the fact that the y-intercept of a linear function occurs when x = 0, so we just need to look in the table for the value of f(x) when x = 0. From the table $f(x)=-6$ when $x=0$ ; therefore the y-intercept of $f(x)$ is -6.
